The True Stories of The Shirtless Man, by John Wessling

One of my dearest oldest friends in comedy and life, the man who married my wife and I in the Church of Johnny Cash, The Right Reverend and Grand Revelator Robert L. Mungle joins me today. We talk of many things in this episode, the struggles of the small business owner and the trials and tribulations of our heroes in the bar business during the age of The Rona, his time in the sun of adolation at comicbook/anime festivals being gone, Paul Reiser cleverly trying to see if Rob was holding and how Carl Weathers can and should go fuck himself. And then I learned way more than I thought Rob could teach me about Richard Nixon. Follow Rob Mungle at @robmungle on Twitter, and at @soulfinger_sweetboogie on Instagram.

Morgan Preston is one of the very few people who have performed comedy in all 50 US states in 50 consecutive days. Me and my crew may have done it first, but we were like the Gemini astronauts. Morgan and his gang have done it twice and plan on doing it again... and faster. We obviously talked about our experiences Cannonball Running it across the country but we also talked about shou sugi ban, the Japanese practice of scorching wood. It makes sense when you listen. If you want to see Morgan's comedy or his amazing photography, you can, as he says, fucking Google him.

Tony Casillas, a very funny young man from the DFW comedy scene, did some high quality BS'ing with me today. We agreed on the irritation of social media being so important in our lives and for our careers, which was a surprise to me since he's only 25! We talked honestly about our experiences performing in the age of The Rona and our reluctance to do any more shows until things get right. Then I'm pretty sure his psychedelics hit and we talked about EVERYTHING POSSIBLE in a short period of time. It was a blast. Follow Tony everywhere, even though it grosses him out at @comediantonycasillas and check out his podcasts "Tony Talks To..." and "The Before and After Podcast" with his roommate Parker Slavens.

Very funny comic and talented musician, JR Brow is my guest. He just found out before we recorded the interview that his COVID-19 test came back negative after a week in quarantine. This proves, yet again, that nothing good comes from helping somebody move. We talked about Rona symptoms, how he lost his sense of smell in high school, narcolepsy and driving, selling an invisible vape pen, his German upbringing as an army brat, his art work of drawing dead pets and his thoughts on my 13 year old daughter playing guitar. Follow JR's you tube channel for great videos and songs youtube.com/JRBrow and look for his art page on Facebook (Dead Petz Society)

THE GREATEST OF ALL PART TIME, Adrian Holden joins me today. He's a sports talk guy from Houston, does a lot of play by play and really knows his stuff. We dove right into why sports talk radio is so heavily staffed by white dudes, how the Rona is a nightmare for college and high school sports and so much more. Follow Adrian at @theGOAPT
